Transducer position??

[Tyger]

As mentioned before just got a Takacat ( no engine yet) and new to all this. Just looking at a Garmin vivid striker 4 and a way of mounting it, given I've no solid transome and having read loads on positioning and turbulence from hulls, engines etc, ive come up with a way of mounting to the side of the boat at the back end of the tube which I can extend a little away from the tube if that helps even more, does this sound like a good plan as moving through the water there would be no turbulence from anything ?
Ps... it will be on a swinging arm so can flipped in board at speed.

It sounds to me like you have considered all of the correct issues to get the best return signal so I would say yes go for it and try it out.

You can always move it.

This is the mount ive bought to try from the USA looks simple and can swivel up from the water if needed. It is really well made.
